taken possession Of every other loan
office in town and that he proposed to
''down French & Riddle if it cost him
his scalp" Accordingly early this
morning Hi. Rate, made a desperate
attempt to secure control of the farm
loan business SO ably conducted bv
the gentlemen in charge. This was not
the first attempt the big Prophet
had made to control this house. and
the detection by French & Riddle of
this, another desperate attempt result
cd in desperate struggle in which
the Big Prophet" was nearly cut in
two, and he is now in the last gasps
of his existence, and it is safe to say
there will be but few disinterested
mOuIners at his funeral.
Since the denOuement, Messrs.
French 4 Riddle have given their
usual close attention to the interests
of their customers in their largely in
creasing business at the State Bank,
and are as obliging and courteous as
ever, and one viewing their quiet and
placid demeanor would never believe
they had so recently been two of the
parties in a desperate deed of blood
shed, and no attempt has been made
for their arrest. Hi. Rates friends,
the competitors of the State Bank in
the farm loan business, are loud in
their assertion that they will soon be
in the clutches of the law but French
& Riddle state that SO long as public
sentiment is with them they do not
fear the result of such an attempt,
and their many friends boldly declare
that by a cordial support they will
frustrate any such attempt.
The popular feeling to-day is that
it is to everybody's interest to endorse
the action of Messrs. French & Rid
die in Kidding the community of a
character so obnoxious and to patron
ize them to the fullest extent, especial
ly as with High Rates out of the way
they are making Farm Loans on terms
never before heard of west of Wichita.
They can make you a loan with ABSOLUTELY
no delay They will allow full option
clause that is, you can pay off the loan
before it is|due, thereby stopping in
terest. They are headquarters. They
always fulfill their contracts. Their
papers are the most liberal in use and
are entirely free from properly so
called cut throat clauses. There is no
monkeying with them. 1t is a home
institution, cannot afford sharp prac-
tice.
If you want the best loans on earth
come in and see them. If you desire
to place yourself on record as being
in favor of fair dealing and opposed
to Hi. Rates in every form, you can
not better prove your honest convic-
tons than by throwing your patronage
and influence to French & Riddle.
HI. RATES HAS DIED.
Later.-The coroner's jury cempos-
ed of six of our best citizens have
just returned verdict of justifiable
homicide. This is in accordance
with the opinions of nine tenths of
our citizens.

Whose business interests must
suffer in consequence
If he does not survive and re-
sumo his tyranical and
heartless sway.
Full details of the desperate
encounter.

At the hour of going to press this
ordinarily quiet and always peaceful
community is in tumult of excite
ment over a serious cutting atfray,
which occurred in one of our leading
business houses early this morning.
The parties involved are all we'll
known to a great number of our
people, and as many individual inter-
csts are involved in the dispute, the
commotion that would naturally be
expected to arise from so tragic an
event, has been greatly accelerated
by personal feeling. Accordingly
excitement is now at fever heat, and
future developments are awaited with
the keenest interest. Constable
Northrup and marshal Yocum are
powerless to quell the excitement, ant:
disperse the crowds of frenzied men
and it is probable that the U. S. troops
at Fort Wallace may be called upon
to render assistance in restoring
order.
The aggressors and victors in the
fight were Messrs. L. L. French and
4. L. Riddle of the State Bank of
Colby, at whose place of business the
cutting occurred in the Farm Loan
Department. Their victim, Mr..
Hiram Rates, more familiarly known
to our people as "Big Prophet or
High Rates was one of our Oldest
residents, he having come into the
country in the rush of '84, and he has
lived here ever since and has oppress-
ed our farming community not a lit
tie by his "Pound of Flesh in all of
his business dealings.
Nlessrs. French and Riddle were
among the first to condemn his man
ner of doing business, and were al
most the only ones who dared to open
ly combat the clique which had
gathered around his standard. With
all respect for the dying man, it must
be admitted that his business relations
with a large number of our people,
has gained for him hosts of bitter
enemies who are rapidly flocking to
the support of the gentlemen above
mentioned, while Hi Rates support
naturally comes from Messrs. French
& Riddles competitors in their line of
business.
1t is alleged by parties of great
respectability and who claim to have
an intimate knowledge of the inside
facts in the case that the Messrs.
French & Riddles fearless policy in
openly opposing the business methods
of their victim had long ago resulted
in feeling of distrust and bitterness
between the parties. The immediate
cause of the affray was the unexcusa-
BILE course adopted by Hi Rates in
attempting to take possession of the
Farm Loan Department of the State
Bank 1t is claimed by some that
Rates had openly boasted that he had
